Handmade Star Wars Dress

We’ve featured a few great handmade dresses on Geek Crafts recently – there was the Starfleet dress, the dragon dress, the space dress and the rather bizarre bread tag dress. So here’s another wonderful user submission – a handmade Star Wars dress:

Cindy of Cation Designs last year acquired some original Star Wars: A New Hope bed sheets, and did what any crafty science teacher would do: turn them into a dress. And while Cindy is pretty critical of it on her blog, I think we can all agree that it looks incredible.

There are a few other geeky dresses on Cation Designs as well that are worth a look. Check out the Batman Dress or Spiderman Dress, for example. It’s times like this that I wish I owned a sewing machine, knew how to operate one, and had patience in buckets. But then if we could all do this, it wouldn’t be nearly as awesome, would it?!

HALT, MUTANT!

Friends, I actually got excited when I saw this stained glass lovely. I was a huge fan of the animated X-Men series on Fox in the 90’s.

Zero Wing Labs created THIS AWESOME MUTANT HUNTING STAINED GLASS SENTINEL straight from the pages of the X-Men. Someone needs to build a superhero church, STAT.

Iron Man Fan Makes The Best Of a Broken Wrist

Are arm casts some kind of new fashion statement? Just two weeks ago, we had the TARDIS cast. Today, we have an Iron Man glove cast.

I don’t have any info on the designer of this cast; I only know that it came from Buzzfeed. And I’ve decided that if I ever break my arm or wrist, I’m making my cast into Spider-Man’s glove and sleeve.

Han Solo Lego Portrait

Back in April I went along to The Sydney Brick Show: a big Lego event where Lego sculptors bring some of their awesome creations and chat with other fanatics, whilst hundred of little kids run around suffering from excitement overload. I was originally going to write an entire post about the event, but there was just so much awesome stuff there, that I’ve kind had to just cut it down to the best for now. And here you are: Han Solo Lego Pixel Art.

This incredible portrait of Star Wars’ Han Solo is something like 1 metre squared and is made up of over TWENTY THOUSAND bricks. And they are all those tiny “one-ers” that you miss when clearing up and then stand on days later.

Han wasn’t the only pixel art there. Continue reading
